Ruth 2
1 And Naomi had a kinsman of her husband's, a mighty man of wealth, of the family of Elimelech, and his name was Boaz.
Nawomi yalina mulamu we, ng’ava mu kika kya bba, Erimereki, nga mugagga, erinnya lye nga ye Bowaazi.
2 And Ruth the Moabitess said to Naomi, Let me now go to the field, and glean among the ears of grain after him in whose sight I shall find favor. And she said to her, Go, my daughter.
Awo Luusi Omumowaabu n’agamba Nawomi nti, “Ka ŋŋende mu nnimiro okulonda ebirimba bya sayiri, ngoberere oyo anankwatirwa ekisa.” Nawomi n’amuddamu nti, “Genda, muwala wange.”
3 And she went, and came and gleaned in the field after the reapers. And her chance was to land on the portion of the field belonging to Boaz, who was of the family of Elimelech.
Amangwago, n’agenda, n’atandika okulonda mu nnimiro abakunguzi we bayise. Awo ne yesanga ng’atuuse mu nnimiro ya Bowaazi, ow’omu kika kya Erimereki.
4 And, behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem, and said to the reapers, Jehovah be with you. And they answered him, Jehovah bless thee.
Mu kiseera kye kimu Bowaazi n’atuuka okuva e Besirekemu, n’agamba abakunguzi be nti, “Mukama Katonda abeere nammwe.” Nabo ne bamuddamu nti, “Naawe Mukama Katonda akuwe omukisa.”
5 Then Boaz said to his servant who was set over the reapers, Whose damsel is this?
Awo Bowaazi n’abuuza nampala wa bakunguzi be nti, “Omuwala ono w’ani?”
6 And the servant who was set over the reapers answered and said, It is the Moabite damsel who came back with Naomi out of the country of Moab.
N’amuddamu nti, “Ono ye muwala Omumowaabu eyajja ne Nawomi okuva e Mowaabu.
7 And she said, Let me glean, I pray you, and gather behind the reapers among the sheaves. So she came, and has continued even from the morning until now, except that she tarried a little in the house.
Atwegayiridde alondelonde abakunguzi we bayise mu binywa, era asiibye akola okuva obw’enkya okutuusa essaawa eno, okuggyako akabanga akatono ke yawumuddemu.”
8 Then Boaz said to Ruth, Do thou not hear, my daughter? Go not to glean in another field, neither pass from here, but abide here close by my maidens.
Awo Bowaazi n’agamba Luusi nti, “Wuliriza, muwala ggwe. Togendanga n’olondanga mu nnimiro endala yonna, tovanga mu eno, naye obeeranga wamu nabaweereza bange abawala.
9 Let thine eyes be on the field that they reap, and go thou after them. Have I not charged the young men that they shall not touch thee? And when thou are thirsty, go to the vessels, and drink of that which the young men have drawn.
Gendereranga ennimiro basajja bange mwe bamaze okukungula, era ogobererenga abawala. Abasajja mbalagidde obutakutawanya. Era ennyonta bw’ekulumanga, onywenga ku mazzi abasajja ge basenye.”
10 Then she fell on her face, and bowed herself to the ground, and said to him, Why have I found favor in thy sight that thou should take knowledge of me, seeing I am a foreigner?
Awo Luusi bwe yawulira ebyo, n’avuunama ku ttaka, ng’agamba nti, “Ng’ondaze ekisa mu maaso go, n’onfaako nze, munnaggwanga.”
11 And Boaz answered and said to her, It has been fully shown me all that thou have done to thy mother-in-law since the death of thy husband, and how thou have left thy father and thy mother, and the land of thy nativity, and have come to a people that thou knew not formerly.
Naye Bowaazi n’addamu nti, “By’okoledde nnyazaala wo kasookedde balo afa, ne bwe waleka kitaawo ne nnyoko era n’abantu bo n’ojja mu nsi ey’abantu botomanyi, babintegezezza byonna.
12 Jehovah recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of Jehovah, the God of Israel, under whose wings thou have come to take refuge.
Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri gwe weeyuna wansi w’ebiwaawaatiro bye, akusasule olw’ebyo by’okoze. MukamaKatonda wa Isirayiri, oyo gwe weewagamye wansi w’ebiwawaatiro bye, akuwe empeera ennene ddala.”
13 Then she said, Let me find favor in thy sight, my lord, because thou have comforted me, and because thou have spoken kindly to thy handmaid, though I be not as one of thy handmaidens.
Awo Luusi n’addamu nti, “Nneeyongere okulaba ekisa mu maaso go mukama wange, kubanga oyogedde ebigambo ebyekisa eri omuweereza wo era emmeeme yange ogizizza mu nteeko wadde nga sigwanira kuba omu ku baweereza bo.”
14 And at mealtime Boaz said to her, Come here, and eat of the bread, and dip thy morsel in the vinegar. And she sat beside the reapers, and they passed her parched grain, and she ate, and was satisfied, and left of it.
Ekiseera ekyokulya bwe kyatuuka, Bowaazi n’agamba Luusi nti, “Jjangu okoze omugaati gwo mu wayini akatuuse.” Awo Luusi bwe yatuula wansi, Bowaazi n’amuwa sayiri ensiike, n’alya, n’akkuta, n’emulemera nawo.
15 And when she arose up to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, Let her glean even among the sheaves, and do not reproach her.
Oluvannyuma ng’okulya kuwedde, n’agolokoka agende alonde, era Bowaazi n’alagira abaddu be nti, “Ne bw’anaalonda mu binywa temumugaana.
16 And also pull out some for her from the bundles, and leave it, and let her glean, and do not rebuke her.
Wakiri, mumuleke yerondere mu miganda so temumuwuuna.”
17 So she gleaned in the field until evening. And she beat out that which she had gleaned, and it was about an ephah of barley.
Awo Luusi n’alonda mu nnimiro okutuuka akawungeezi, oluvannyuma n’awuula ne sayiri gye yali akuŋŋaanyizza, n’aweza nga kilo kkumi na ssatu.
18 And she took it up, and went into the city, and her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned. And she brought forth and gave to her that which she had left after she was satisfied.
Yonna n’agyetikka, n’agitwala mu kibuga, ne nnyazaala we n’agiraba. Era yamuleetera ne ku mmere gye yali afissizzaawo.
19 And her mother-in-law said to her, Where have thou gleaned today? And where have thou worked? Blessed be he who took knowledge of thee. And she showed her mother-in-law with whom she had worked, and said, The man's name with whom I worked today is Boaz.
Nnyazaala we yasanyuka nnyo, era n’amubuuza nti, “Wakoze mu nnimiro y’ani leero? Aweebwe omukisa oyo akukwatiddwa ekisa!” Awo Luusi n’abuulira nnyazaala we nannyini nnimiro mwe yakoze, n’erinnya ly’omwami nga ye Bowaazi.
20 And Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, Blessed be he of Jehovah who has not left off his kindness to the living and to the dead. And Naomi said to her, The man is near of kin to us, one of our near kinsmen.
Nawomi namugamba nti, “Mukama Katonda atalekanga kulaga kisa eri abalamu n’abafu, amuwe omukisa. Anti omusajja oyo muganda waffe ddala, era y’omu ku banunuzi baffe ddala.”
21 And Ruth the Moabitess said, Yes, he said to me, Thou shall keep close by my young men until they have ended all my harvest.
Luusi Omumowaabu n’ayongerako nti, “N’okuŋŋamba yaŋŋambye nti nkolere wamu n’abakozi be okutuusa lwe balimala eby’okukungula bye.”
22 And Naomi said to Ruth her daughter-in-law, It is good, my daughter, that thou go out with his maidens, and that they not meet thee in any other field.
Awo Nawomi n’agamba Luusi muka mwana we nti, “Kijja kuba kirungi nnyo muwala wange, okubeeranga kumpi nabaweereza be abakazi, kubanga singa onoogenda mu nnimiro y’omulala akabi kayinza okukutuukako.”
23 So she kept close by the maidens of Boaz, to glean to the end of barley harvest and of wheat harvest. And she dwelt with her mother-in-law.
Awo Luusi n’abeeranga kumpi n’abaweereza ba Bowaazi ng’alonda okutuusa amakungula ga sayiri n’eŋŋaano bwe gaggwa, n’abeeranga wamu ne nnyazaala we.
